The St. Charles Cathedral in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Virgin Mary casts her shadow on the back of the building. The Cathedral faces Jackson square where, local legend provides, the statue of Jackson is tipping his hat to his mistress who lived in one of the buildings along the square. I will say one thing about the Catholics; they sure know how to build a church...

Washington D.C., our nation's capital, proves that even a city that has been affected by modernism can retain it's own beauty and history in spite of the ages. My favorite of these photos is the one of the Capitol building at dusk with the Ulysses S. Grant memorial in the foreground. The natural lighting is just amazing, and I did not even have to hold the camera still for very long.

Ah, spring, we shall miss thee...
